Criminal Background Inquiry Authorization
Again WSRCC does the committee work to ensure the new criminal
background inquiry (CBI) authorization form works with the adult family
home program. The “business as usual” union was not even in the room
this past summer. The document attached is finally being published by
DSHS.
Last time that DSHS changed the CBI there was up to a 3 month delay
until providers from WSRCC met with DSHS officials and brought the issue
to the AFH Advisory Committee. Only our provider representatives worked
to ensure the new forms worked with over 15 other DSHS programs
throughout the state to facilitate the new changes. This form is
available for use now. This form will soon be required for all adult
family homes.
Changes have been made to simplify the criminal background
authorization form for adult family home providers. Attached you will
find the new form that can be filled out on the screen and then faxed to
DSHS – 360-902-0292.
Please note the new instructions and changes to this form.
Of particular note;
1.
Nothing has to be completed under Question 3 for an adult family homes
2. Remember to enter the “A” followed by the home’s license
number for Question 4
3. The word “same” may be appropriate for Question 8 B --- not the same
“name” printed again
4. Previous address on Question 17 B is not necessary for the adult
family home program
5. A phone number is not required for Question 17 C for the adult family
home program
I have also attached the announcement for the
improved list for Crimes and Negative Actions as interpreted by DSHS.
Again, we all need to thank those adult family home volunteers who
helped with this project.
Thank you,
Aaron R. Mountain
Past President
WSRCC
